BROKEN LOW CLOUDINESS HAS ALSO BEEN EVIDENT OVER WINDWARD SECTIONS OF THE OTHER ISLES...AT LEAST FROM TIME TO TIME... ESPECIALLY THE BIG ISLAND. SOME LEEWARD AREAS OF THE BIG ISLAND... SOUTH KONA MOST PARTICULARLY...ARE MOSTLY CLOUDY AS OF BULLETIN TIME AS WELL. SKIES ARE CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY ELSEWHERE. AS WAS THE CASE LAST EVENING...LOW CLOUD MOTION IS FROM THE EAST BETWEEN 15 AND 20 MPH. SKIES ARE PREDOMINANTLY CLEAR TO SCATTERED IN THE ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS...WITH ONLY OCCASIONAL PATCHES OF BROKEN LOW CLOUDS MOVING ALONG WITH THE PREVAILING TRADE FLOW. A FRONT IS NEARLY STATIONARY AROUND 450 MILES NORTH OF KAUAI...AND APPEARS TO BE WEAKENING. MOST OF THE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THAT HAD BEEN OCCURRING ALONG THE FRONT HAVE DISSIPATED OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED TOWERING CUMULUS CLOUDS ARE STILL PRESENT...MOST OF WHICH ARE CURRENTLY NORTH OF 29N BETWEEN 151W AND 167W. IN THE UPPER AIR ABOVE 25 THOUSAND FEET...A DOUBLE-BARRELED TROUGH... SO TO SPEAK...EXISTS OVER AND JUST EAST OF THE STATE. AS ONE SYSTEM EXITS TO THE EAST AND NORTHEAST...ANOTHER IS ADVANCING FROM THE WEST AND HAS PUSHED OVER KAUAI AND OAHU. NEITHER FEATURE HAS BEEN HAVING MUCH OF AN EFFECT ON SURFACE WEATHER NEAR THE ISLANDS....THOUGH THE TROUGH TO THE EAST HAS BEEN HELPING TO PRODUCE A LARGE SWATH OF HIGH CLOUDS EAST OF 150W. MOST OF THE CONVECTION ALONG THE INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE FAR SOUTH OF HAWAII HAS DISSIPATED FOR THE TIME BEING. SMALL AREAS OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS...NONETHELESS...ARE IGNITING FROM 07N TO 10N BETWEEN 161W AND 167W...AND FROM 06.5N TO 12.5N WEST OF 175W. A WEAK TROUGH APPROXIMATELY 600 MILES SOUTH OF HONOLULU... MOVING WEST AT 10 TO 15 MPH...IS ALSO INDUCING CONVECTION. MOST OF THIS ACTIVITY IS LOCATED FROM 12N TO 14N BETWEEN 155W AND 161.5W AS OF THIS WRITING. $$ KINEL +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from WX-TROPL send e-mail to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.ILLINOIS.EDU with "unsub wx-tropl" in the body of your message.
